Sieja family - My earliest childhood memories include George & Rosemary and boy are they good ones. Who wouldn't feel so very fortunate to be able to run in & out of the Sieja house (including right through the patio door one time) where there was licorice on the counter in the kitchen & if you were sick Rosemary gave you an aspirin in a teaspoon of honey. My 1st set of stitches came while all of us Dodds kids were staying with George & Rosemary (possibly not behaving at the time!). Evenings spent swinging in the front of the house and wishing Brad & Wendy would let me play with them. Such an influence was your mom that when I was confirmed in high school, Rosemary, was my confirmation name. I could go on and on. Thanks for the memories - love you Rosemary!

My deepest Sympathy to both of you Wendy and Dale, and to the Sieja family.
So sorry to hear of your sudden Loss.

Our deepest sympathy to the Sieja family. Dear Wendy & Dale, our prayers and thoughts are with you both during this difficult time. We send our love and support to you both.

Kate & Wendy,
Bud just stopped over and shared the news of your mother's passing on. I remember you, Kate, saying how she talked about riding on the gulf cart at our orchard and liking it. Upon reading her obituary I see what a full life she has had. I am glad your got to spend Thanksgiving together as it will be a lasting memory of a day enjoyed! Tom & I send our sympathy to you and your family. Sincerely, Tom & Holly Sayer

To the Sieja family: I went to school with Wendy, and periodically look at the Beaver Dam paper on line. So sorry to hear of your loss. Will be thinking of you and your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smile back again. My wish for you all is to Find Comfort in the Memories and Closeness of Your Family and Friends. Know that through those Memories Damion Robert Beck will learn Who His Great Grandpa Schultz was and Love Him as You do!

Dear Wanda, I was sorry to hear you the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Doris

Our uncle was an all-around friendly and good guy. We will cherish the fond memories we have of him.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
